Subject Lines A typical subject line for a sim on the Astraeus will look like Character Rank and Name: Sim Title For example: Capt. Mei'konda: The Best Title Ever Lt. Cmdr. Lael Rosek: So Here's the Thing... You do not need to specify if the character is an NPC, PNPC, or MSPNPC in the subject line. If a sim is particularly long or you are writing a joint post with someone else, split the sim into two parts and label them in the title: JP: Captain Mei'konda & Lt. Cmdr. Rosek: New Places (Part 1) JP: Captain Mei'konda & Lt. Cmdr. Rosek: New Places (Part 2) Roman numerals (I, II, etc) are also permissible. No Tags or Location Markers in the Subject Line Aboard Astraeus, we do not list characters that are tagged for a response in the subject line, and we do not list the location of the sim in the subject line. We refrain from doing so to encourage everyone to read each sim. You never know when you might want to tie in something that someone else has introduced in another scene or another location, even if it isn't a direct tag for your character! Bolding vs. Non-Bolding Do not bold entire paragraphs. Common uses of bolding include: Location headers: ((Sickbay, USS Astraeus)) Signatures A typical signature will look like this: Commander Mei’konda Delano Commanding Officer USS Montreal M239002M10
